a picnic table
is the perfect place to feast–
on nature’s beauty
our souls always hunger for
nature’s beautiful banquet

haiku 159
fall colors blaze in
the pine forest’s underbrush–
flames frozen in time

star girl (archives)
starlight falls out of the skies
and settles in her upturned eyes
she peers into the jeweled vault
until the sun begins to rise
an amateur astronomer
she knows the moons of jupiter
orion’s belt and saturn’s rings
she loves the stars like i love her
i hope someday she’ll love me too
but i will not obstruct her view
or take the stars out of her eyes
my love for her is tried and true

fall falls
autumn tumbles down
the ski slope like so many
falls to soon follow

for nature shots,
the chances are
that i won’t have to
go too far,
for nature’s riches
are bestowed
upon the ditches
of my road

wildlife photos (shadorma)
i look in
the woods with caution
to see what
i can see
and every so often
it looks back at me

haiku 158
a sudden rainbow
complements the colorful
autumnal forest

witches and wizards
are often glimpsed in the dark
enchanted forests

Limerick 66
Prince Sodium of royal birth
Left the castle and all he was worth
To wed Miss Chlorine,
A working-class teen–
And now they’re the salt of the earth

idioms work well
when i’m posting a photo,
but which one to use,
sometimes i don’t know–
are these bumps on a log
or ducks in a row?
